We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

Promotional drawing of the Chateau Laurier Hotel, Ottawa, showing (left to right) the Parliament Buildings, Post Office, Chateau Laurier Hotel, and Central Union Passenger Station. Artist unknown, ca. 1912. (Ottawa City Archives, CA7633) Figure 1 (right). Chateau Frontenac Hotel, Quebec City, 1892-93; Bruce Price, architect. (CP Corporate Archives, A-4989) TX ~h the construction of the Chateau Frontenac Hotel in 1892-93 on the heights of r r Quebec City (figure 1), American architect Bruce Price (1845-1903) introduced the chateau style to Canada. Built for the Canadian Pacific Railway, the monumental hotel estab­ lished a precedent for a series of distinctive railway hotels across the country that served to as­ sociate the style with nationalist sentiment well into the 20th century.1 The prolonged life of the chateau style was not sustained by the CPR, however; the company completed its last chateauesque hotel in 1908, just as the mode was being embraced by the CPR's chief com­ petitor, the Grand Trunk Railway. How the chateau style came to be adopted by the GTR, and how it was utilized in three major hotels- the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa, the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, and the Macdonald Hotel in Edmonton -was closely related to the background and rise to prominence of the architects, Montreal natives George Allan Ross (1879-1946) and David Huron MacFarlane (1875-1950). According to Lovell's Montreal City Directory, 1900-01, George Ross2 worked as a draughtsman in the Montreal offices of the GTR, which was probably his first training in ar­ chitecture, and possibly a consideration when his firm later obtained the contracts for the GTR hotels.

  • Visionaries and Risk-Takers: the First Hundred Years of the Fort Garry Hotel
    Visionaries and Risk-Takers: The First Hundred Years of the Fort Garry Hotel by Giles Bugailiskis Winnipeg, Manitoba onumental buildings have a history that goes beyond their individual style and design features. MOftentimes the story of the owner/entrepreneur, taking a business risk to provide a needed service to the local community, is never told. Nor is the story told about the individuals who provide a public face of the enterprise, the individuals that represent the investor’s vision. My aim is to do just that, to recall the fortunes of the Fort Garry Hotel, a grand, luxurious Winnipeg landmark on Broadway. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Era 1904–1919 At the end of the 19th century all the pieces of the puzzle were coming together in the development of Western Canada. British capital was once again flowing into the country, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was expanding in the West, eastern manufacturers were seeking new markets for their goods and the newly elected Liberal government of Sir Wilfred Laurier was pushing for increased immigration and, perhaps most importantly, courting railways to compete with the CPR. Prime Minister Laurier held intensive secret negotiations with Charles Melville Hays, General Manager of the British- owned Grand Trunk Railway (GTR), incorporated in 1851 and operating lines in United States, Quebec and southern Ontario. The results of the negotiations, announced in Parliament in July 1903, underlined Hays’ risk-taking Archives of Manitoba, Foote 1536, N2567. nature and Laurier’s desire for railway expansion into the Winnipeg photographer Lewis Foote took this view of the Fort West.
